DENIVA

The Development Network of Indigenous Voluntary Associations (DENIVA) is a network of non-governmental and community based organizations (NGOs/CBOs). DENIVA was founded in February 1988 by a group of visionary leaders from 21 NGOs who recognized that the scattered effort by voluntary local associations needed to be marshalled for a collective voice that could lead to a better development impact. DENIVA has since grown into a large national network with over 700 members who are located in several regions of the country.
